These videos tend to mainly show the band/artist performing the song, often at a concert. Some artists choose to make the video more interesting by changing the setting of the performance, or adding in shots which aren't all performance based.
An example of a performance based music video is Foo Fighters - Best of You which I have analysed in another post.
Narrative Based Music Videos
The videos generally follow a storyline throughout, and they are often in relation to the lyrics of the song, however sometimes the videos follow a completely different narrative to what the lyrics explore. The videos usually use actors/actresses, and are extremely story-like. Many narrative based videos contain aspects of performance as well.

An example of a narrative based music video is Coldplay - The Scientist which I have analysed on another post.
Concept Based Music Videos
These videos often follow no storyline whatsoever, except they usually follow a theme. The technique is quite unusual; they usually use a particular editing or filming technique. Concept based music videos also contain aspects of performance aspects.

Most videos however, aren’t so clear cut as to have one set type. Usually videos will incorporate a mixture of these elements such as a performance by the artist alongside some narrative footage.
From looking at various other media students A2 coursework, it became clear that narrative based videos were the most popular choice, because of this I think that I would personally want to focus on one of the other types of music video to do something different that may not have been done before.
Hi Heather - You have begun to provide some understanding of the different genres if music video. To complete this don't forget to reference your sources and provide relevant examples to illustrate.
